Community Nakusp to be represented at BC Summer Games by Dugan McInnes event that has been roaming between 38 B.C. host communities since 1978. The games’ mandate is to provide an opportunity for top-notch competition amongst young athletes while promoting interest and participation in sport, individual achievement and community development.

Individual golfers and four–person teams will represent eight different zones around the province.

The competition will involve tallying each team’s three lowest net scores over the course of two days of golf, and medals will be awarded to the top three teams.

Local golfer Dugan McInnes has swung himself into qualifying for the BC Summer Games and will be traveling to Nanaimo to compete against top golfers from around the province.

The summer games are a bicentennial

Smile Week SMILE of OF the THE W EEK

McInnes earned his spot on the mixed zone team by competing in a qualifying circuit in the west Kootenays and will join Ethan Paton of Salmo, Jeff Ashton from Birchbank and Christina Lake golfer, Jordan Field.

McInnis is excited to have the opportunity to participate on the provincial stage and is “hoping for some half decent results,” he stated.

A golfer since the age of four, McInnis was encouraged by his parents to pick up the game.

“It’s kind of a family thing” he stated, “they helped me with my appreciation for the game. It is such an easy-going sport,

more mental than physical, and I enjoy getting the chance to meet and golf with new people.”

McInnis developed his game here in Nakusp and has worked with golf pro, Scott Allan who “developed my swing and got me to the point where I could drive the ball a fair distance,” he said.

McInnis also acknowledges the mentorship he has received from Logan Marchischuck and sites participation in Lynda Henke’s golf program as an important root of his development.

The BC games will be held July 17-20 and are generally celebrated as a once in a lifetime opportunity for young athletes.

A representative of BC Hydro occupied the Seniors Building on Wednesday evening and displayed poster boards crammed with information describing current operations and future initiatives.

This was a stray from previous public sessions that were primarily lecture–based and included an open question session at the end.

“I think it is helpful for people to see the charts and pick them apart generating specific questions and comments” Sabrina Locicero, BC Hydro’s stakeholder engagement advisor, observed.

Community members were free to roam the open space and engage with the BC Hydro service and operational experts.

The conversations generated by the group focused on addressing concerns regarding a core set of environmental and recreational issues.

Molly Bell, member of the Columbia Basin Revitalization Coalition urged, “we need the shoreline, we need the riparian zone for wildlife, we need the environment back.”

The desire for BC Hydro to commit to mid pool levels, that would hold the water at 1425 feet, was repeated throughout the discussions.

“There are a lot of opinions and the management is very complex” Locicero commented, and added, “we want to inform people so they are aware of what has happened and what upcoming forecasted levels will be as well as connect with experts who can answer their questions.”

Locicero identified that each community that BC Hydro meets with has a different set of concerns. For example, Nakusp tends to focus on boat ramps, birds and fish while the conversations in Meadow Creek revolve around mosquito populations and in Castelgar the questions are concerned with discharge rates.

When asked how BC Hydro addresses the variety of unique regional concerns, Locicero sited the water use plan that was developed through public consultation as

the document that outlines the company’s obligations of use.

In terms of electrical service Locicero highlighted BC Hydro’s system improvements, specifically, the plan to complete a distribution system upgrade, which includes a system voltage conversion to a higher class.

The adjustment seeks to double the available capacity in Nakusp and potentially identify system deficiencies.

M.V. Columbia begins service on Upper Arrow Lake Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure

The M.V. Columbia, B.C.’s newest inland ferry, is now in service, replacing two 40-year-old vessels on the route between Shelter Bay and Galena Bay on Upper Arrow Lake.

The M.V. Columbia can transport 80 vehicles and 250 passengers. The vessel has wider lanes and improved ramp transitions for faster loading and unloading. The sailing time is about 20 minutes.

In 2012, the Province signed a $26.5 million contract with WaterBridge Steel Inc. to design and build the new inland ferry. The vessel was constructed in Nakusp, providing employment for

approximately 65 workers from across B.C. over the last two years.

The M.V. Columbia is more fuel efficient and produces fewer emissions than its predecessors. It also incorporates enhanced maintenance technology that will result in a high level of reliability. The vessel was designed to enable underwater visual inspections, eliminating the requirement to lift the vessel out of the water every five years for an inspection. The vessel’s equipment and systems can be fully serviced from the car deck or inside the vessel.

The name ‘M.V. Columbia’ is representative of the location of the ferry, as the Arrow Lakes are widenings of the Columbia River. The

• This Week in History • July 4, 1924 July 1 attracts record crowd to Lake Metropolis. From the early hours of the morning, the town was awake and very rapidly appearing in gala attire. E. Buhl was awarded the prize for the best decorated residence and A.L. Building Supply won the best decorated business. The 11 o’clock parade was led by the outstanding military figure of Col. Hambin, mounted on a fine horse.

July 5, 1934 The Dominion Day celebration, Nakusp’s big annual event, was most successful despite the inclement weather which seems to be the fate of Nakusp on all festive days. However, all events were held as planned and prize winners were: 6 and under - S. Horrey, O. Hoy, 8 - Gladys Olsen, C. Picard, 10 - T. Johnson,

C. Picard, 12 - B. Davidston, Ol. Buerge, R. Kerr., 14 - Olga Steenhoff, R. Hoy, Monica Butlin.

July 6, 1944 Dominion Day was celebrated in Nakusp this year as usual.

The day started off at 10 a.m. with children’s sports and a ball game at 11 a.m. A flag raising ceremony under the direction of the Women’s Institute was held at 1 p.m. About 30 children were directed in a patriotic parade and flag drill. The boys and girls were dressed in white blouses and blue slacks or shorts, while each carried a flag of one of the United Nations. They were followed by a group of nine children representing the British Empire. They marched to form a semi-circle around the flag pole where the United States flag and the Union Jack were raised.

July 2, 1964 Bob Samuelson, a Celgar chokerman in the Fosthall operation, lived a spine tingling 4-5 minutes last week. He was the target of an angry cow moose protecting her week old calf, while it was tangled up and stuck in some felled timber and branches some 20 feet away from him. When Bob heard the mother cow snort, he dove under some felled trees. The moose attempted to bite him and pull him out from under the logs. Luckily the calf broke free, and mother and calf walked off towards the timber.

July 3, 1974 Debbie Schmidt of Fauquier was crowned Queen of the Arrow Lakes during July 1 activities in Nakusp, with Leslie deGans and Sherry Hanson as her attendants.

Our View

Dief was the Chief... but who was Dief?

With an occasion that only comes around on the first of July the chances are always pretty good that a good time will be had by a good many. That’s the story with Canada Day. It’s tidy too, because the hockey playoffs are wrapped up and the football season has barely gotten off the ground.

The best part of our patriotic focal point is that – whatever city, town, village or hamlet we may call home – we all get together to whoop it up. We share cuisine, art, the news we may not have had a chance to share in the past year, and even some red and white face paint.

This is Canada Day and there’s a good reason committees get such a head start on planning it every year.

Here’s a bit of history for anyone who wasn’t around or out of diapers around 30 years ago: “On July 1, 1867, Canada became a selfgoverning dominion of Great Britain and a federation of four provinces: Nova Scotia; New Brunswick; Ontario; and Quebec. The anniversary of this date was called Dominion Day until 1982. Since 1983, July 1 has been officially known as Canada Day.” If you found that interesting it sets the stage for the following suggestion.

By the time Canada Day rolls around next year, why not do like some of the rest of us and make it a point to learn an interesting fact from our history. Heaven knows we’ve got enough to check through even though it’s well under 200 years. It’s a habit we can borrow from our southern neighbours, and one that many of us can make some good progress with. For example, how many Prime Ministers come to mind when we really put our minds to it?

Louis St…. who?

There will be no quiz, just a fun way to think of Canadian stuff each year on the day that Canada itself is in the national spotlight.

Sure, most of us know about John Diefenbaker (‘The Chief ’ to his supporters), 13th Prime Minister who’s term in office was from 1957 to 1963. Louis St.?

Laurent, of course!

Nakusp Council Meeting June 23, 2014

Ryan Willman Arrow Lakes News

Development Variance Permit Application An application for the reduction of property lot lines from five feet to three feet was presented to council for review during Monday’s meeting. The property in question is situated within a residential zone, which requires side lot lines of five feet, however the landowner has applied for a development variance. According to the application procedures notice of intent was distributed to neighbouring properties. Responses to the bylaw adjustment request raised concerns about the potential congested look of relaxed lot lines that would affect property values and alter the character of the neighbourhood.

Councilor Hughes weighed in by stating “I think five feet needs to be firm unless there is a significant reason because for no other reason than the convenience of the side of the building why would we not say yes to other requests?”

Councilor Duchaine added that if council remained committed to the five-foot bylaw then the homeowner still has building options within the building bylaws, and the house will inevitably go up.

Council decided to deny the development variance as requested.

Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Group The Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Group has proposed a return to Nakusp to host their second Motogiro event in September 2014 and is seeking council support.

Last year’s gathering was a success for the motorcycle group, however inadequate advertising failed to inform community members of the event and led to the misconception that the hot springs road was closed to all public traffic for the duration.

Chief Administrative Officer, Linda Tynan, penned a letter to the event organizer, Dave Marshall, in August 2013 outlining the caveats for council’s support; guarantee unrestricted emergency vehicle access, adhere to a

Since 1923

maximum allowable delay of half an hour for public traffic to and from the hot springs and implement an improved advertising strategy.

Marshall has submitted documents outlining his group’s plan to consent to the council’s requests, and has proposed that the event take place between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. on September 15.

Council passed the motion to support the Motogiro event as submitted.

Stop Sign Council reviewed a request from a community member to remove a stop sign from private land located on the corner at 88-5th Ave. SW, Nakusp. Several options were presented to council regarding the stop sign, but removal was the recommended solution of staff.

“It is an alleyway” Tynan stated, “it is not very common to see stop signs in alleyways and this one serves no purpose.” There are two alleyway stop signs in the Nakusp municipality; the other one is located adjacent to Shon’s Bike and Ski Shop.

Council decided to pass the motion to remove the stop sign as requested.

Budget Variance Chief Financial Officer Robert Richards presented council with the Consolidated Budget Variance to June 18, 2014 which details a comparison of budgeted versus actual expenditures of Village operations. Richards reported that there were no significant variances in the report, “we are almost halfway through the year and all of our actual values are within our expectations.”

The Budget Variance also highlighted capital projects, notably the Million Gallon Reservoir upgrade contract has been awarded to a winning bidder, the water treatment plant has started its two week commissioning process on June 23, and a new monitoring tower has been installed at the public works yard. Some areas of concern include a delay in repairing the Nakusp Arena’s showering facilities and ongoing issues regarding connectivity between the Village Office and Public Works.

A lone figure walks through a shadowy wood, nervously checking over their shoulder. Suddenly, the lights in the Bonnington Theatre go out and a terrifying scream cuts through the darkness. The mystery is underway.

Who’s Afraid of the Dark was the 2014 drama production performed by the Nakusp High School Drama Class during two engagements on June 9.

This year’s production is unique because Grade 12 student Celeste Gingras penned the original script and the entire production (under the supervision of drama teacher Patrick Magibbon) was orchestrated by high school students.

The dark and witty mystery revolves around the strange disappearances of fairytale characters and

Ronald McDonald House BC is growing. ®

The new Ronald McDonald House BC opens in June.

A home away from home for seriously ill children receiving treatment at BC Children’s Hospital, the new and bigger House has enough room to welcome 73 families every day, keeping 2,500 families per year together when it matters most.

(MJHP TZY \JJPQ^ Ć^JWX

opens with a debate by the storybook villagers regarding who is to blame.

Wild accusations fly back and forth in a Crucible style blame game until it is decided that a group should travel to the city to petition the King and Queen for professional help.

“This is not a quest” assures Jack, (from Jack and the Beanstalk portrayed by Jessica Jones Hanna) “this is just a walk to get to the city to find someone to help us.”

Along the way the group of hopeful fairytale villagers encounter a mysterious and violent woodcutter, who threatens Red (Riding Hood) played by Kalya Laplant and in the ensuing chaos separates her from the group.

Red meets up with her fairytale counterpart, the Wolf (coolly played by Ben Gardner), and the two travel along to the city together.

Meanwhile Red’s fellow

travelers, Jack and Char (short for Prince Charming) are kidnapped by the “Princess Bandits” who have plans to use the two fairytale gentlemen as bait to catch the villains.

All roads and all traveling groups eventually reach the sought after city where it is revealed that the King and Queen are actually the Mad Hatter and The Queen of Hearts from the Wonderland world (played by Lee Coats and Katherine Zerath respectively).

They have forced their way into the land of fairytales to drain locals of their essence in an attempt to stay young and empowered forever. A showdown takes place between the travelers and the villainous King and Queen and during the scuffle Sleeping Beauty (played

by Ivy Tourand) appears to fall dead, giving the fairytale creatures the upper hand in the battle.

Char, charismatically played by Conner Scambler, proceeds to burn the dramatic ham with a brilliant, sobbing speech confessing his love for the Sleeping Beauty and attempting to revive her with loves’ true kiss.

Once the villains have been dispatched back to Wonderland to stand trial for their crimes, Jessica Jones Hanna appears ominously centre stage as Death to comment on the preceding action.

Echoing Puck’s famous soliloquy at the end of Midsummer Nights Dream, his haunting and riddled speech analysis the characters’ attempts to change their nature while sympathizing with the plight of the villainous King and Queen.

The speech climaxes with an apocalyptic vision of cookies rising up against their baking masters and ends by posing the question, can people really change?

Celebrating 17 years of music KAREN HAMLING

Music in the Park is back again this summer and celebrating 17 years of music.

The event takes place every Wednesday evening in July and August from 6:30-8 p.m. and features many local and basin musicians.

The first evening is July 2 with Shirley Weatherhead and her Karaoke machine.

Shirley has been providing Karaoke in the community for several years and it is always a fun evening. People don’t have to get up and sing, as they are just as welcome to come out, watch and enjoy.

However, the real fun is the participation aspect.

July 9 brings Darlene Ketchum Quartet – Darlene Ketchum (vocals) and her husband Kelvin (keys) along with Gerry Teichrob (bass) and Allayne McGowan (drums) perform a selection of classic jazz, soul, R&B and gospel tunes as well as some originals. Influenced by the soul/gospel and funk singers of the 1970s, Darlene’s warm and clear vocals find their home in melodic freedom supported by rich chords and laid-back groove.

On July 16, the area’s very own 23 North performs and

it is an evening that is full of great songs that will definitely get people up and dancing. Where else, but Nakusp, can you find your local plumber strumming a guitar and singing along with an auto parts guy (or whatever he’s doing these days).

Mountain Station is a new band for us and they play blue grass, roots, folk and country. They will stir your spirit with their soulful ballads and toe tapping rhythms. They perform on July 23.

July 25 is the Kootenay Savings Children’s Night with family entertainer Mat Duffus. Rue the Clown will be there with her costumes and there will be books and stuffed toys to take home.

Goodies and lots of fun will be the theme of the evening.

Aug. 6, our band teacher Patrick MacGibbon and friends will be performing some jazz numbers for us and then the all girls band Formal Chaos will play the second half of the program with a music mix. You don’t want to miss this evening.

Darryl & Saskia are back with their folk and roots music on August 13. Their voices blend beautifully together and they have played here many times. Back by popu-

lar demand, they are always a crowd favourite.

Steve Palmer will be performing his country roots music on August 20 and has been performing for us for over 10 years. Steve is a superb guitar player and has a resonant voice that soothes the soul. He sings his own original music as well as many cover songs.

The summer program ends with a group called Dirty Laundry. They are a local band and you need to turn up to see who they are.

They will perform a mix of music to bring to a close a great summer of music.

We will be at the gazebo in the park unless it rains or storms and then you need to look for us in the Arena. The program is free and Kathy will be making and selling juice and collecting donations to help cover program costs.

This year’s sponsors are Rec. Commission #4, Columbia Basin Trust Community Initiatives Funding (thanks for voting for us); Kootenay Savings Credit Union, K2 Rotor Lodge (they provide the rooms for the entertainers), Overwaitea Foods and Hamling Lakes Contracting.

See you Wednesday evenings – rain or shine!

Along with music there is plenty of entertainment for everyone.

Community Sign gives Fairview community status

GREG NESTEROFF Black Bress

Sixty-third in a series on West Kootenay/Boundary place names There are two Fairviews in West Kootenay: the Nelson neighbourhood, which we’ll deal with later in this series, and the subdivision on the west side of the highway between Genelle and Castlegar.

The Regional District of Central Kootenay’s earliest plan of the latter is from 1966. Its streets include 201st Avenue plus Jesse, Hetman, Fairview, and Poupore roads. (Poupore will also be taken up later in this series.)

Its status as a community unto itself is thanks largely to a “Fairview Unincorporated” sign. It’s not recognized in the BC Geographical Names database.

FORSLUND This sternwheeler landing south of Needles on the west side of Lower Arrow Lake was named for Capt.

Albert Forslund (1864-1938) who arrived from Sweden in 1890. For many years he piloted the SS Rossland and Minto and also operated a large orchard and farm.

FOSTHALL Fosthall is the name of a locality, bay, creek, point, and mountain on the west side of Upper Arrow Lake, northwest of Nakusp.

Its earliest use was in George Dawson’s Report on a Portion of the West Kootanie [sic] District, British Columbia, dated 1889: “At about 22 miles from the head of the lake, on the west side, Fosthall Creek comes in …”

In March 1907, A.H. Green and F.P. Burden surveyed

the Fosthall “valley lands” for the Canadian Dominion Development Co. of Winnipeg. It didn’t amount to much, although a few attempts were made to plant fruit trees.

The name’s origin is a mystery.

In Pioneer Days of Nakusp and Arrow Lakes, Kate Johnson claimed Fosthall “gets its name from a clerk in the employ of the Hudson’s Bay post there in the early days of white settlement. Foundation timbers of old buildings were seen around 1890 between the present house and the creek at the south end of the bay.”

Un f o r t u n a t e l y, Johnson didn’t provide any sources, and in First Nations Ethnography & Ethnohistory in BC’s Lower Kootenay/Columbia Hydropower Region, Dorothy Kennedy and Randy Bouchard

say they were unable to find any reference to a post at that location or any employees named Fosthall in Hudson’s Bay Company’s records.

(The late Bill Laux suggested there may have been a trading post there that didn’t belong to the company.)

Fosthall, by that spelling at least, is a very rare surname.

Kennedy and Bouchard noted that on an 1866 map, surveyor Walter Moberly gave the name of Fosthall Creek as naghtuous, while two years later, James Bissett, a chief trader with the Hudson’s Bay Company, recorded it in his diary as nauchteaux, “which clearly are attempts to transcribe the same indigenous name.” They believed it was an OkanaganColville term derived from n7axwt meaning “downstream; go downstream.”

First Responders Appreciation Dinner

The Happy Forager 10. Never put anything in your mouth unless you are 100 per cent sure it is safe to ingest.

You may harvest nettles from the time the new leaves emerge from the ground until flowering. Some people believe that during and after this stage the nettles can form bladder stones, and can be harmful to the urinary tract and kidneys. So I shall err on the side of caution and recommend that you harvest prior to flowering until reliable and replicable evidence to the contrary becomes available. Most importantly make sure you are covered from fingertips to toes if you don’t want to get “stung”.

When collecting the nettles, pick or cut the top 4-6 inches of the plant. The top bud and first leaf set of a very young plant will be sufficient as this ensures lateral bud growth, causing the plant to become bushy.

To process your bounty of goodness, lay the leaves out on a clean surface for a few minutes allowing the critters a moment to escape. Then if using right away, rinse leaves and stems under cold tap water and double check quality.

I recommend using tongs or gloves when handling. If not using right away, the leaves will store in a bag in the vegetable drawer of your refrigerator, unwashed, for at least 3-4 days.

If you would like to dry your nettle for tea, there are many options, be creative. You could hang them, use a dehydrator, or my favorite is on a meshed screen in the sun. Resist the urge to reach in and stir them up as they can still sting you while they’re moist. Once they are dry they are much safer to handle, however the hairs can be irritating to the skin or give you a sliver.

Your hard earned harvest is ready to store in a glass jar when the stems snap and the leaves are still green in color. Stinging nettle can substitute for spinach or kale in any cooked recipe and will lose their sting within 30 seconds of cooking. You can add them to lasagna (my favorite), make pasta with them or throw them in soups or stews. Online recipes abound.

Vibrant food is our best medicine, as is the outdoors, so happy foraging!

First responders honored at dinner hosted by Nakusp Legion Photo by Ryan Willman

RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News

The Royal Canadian Legion, Branch #20 decided to launch the B.C./Yukon Legion Week with a community BBQ on June 21 and end with a dinner honoring Nakusp’s First Response teams on June 28.

The dinner was organized as an opportunity for legion members to serve those who dedicate their time and efforts to serve the community.

Legion week events were made possible by funds acquired through BC Gaming under the auspice of giving back to the community and raising awareness about the legion’s presence in Nakusp.

Legion president Harvey Truax welcomed the honored guests and offered his thanks “for all of the

service you give us in the community. Without you people we would really be in dire straits.”

Mayor Karen Hamling also spoke highly of the first responders.

“As first responders you put a lot of your heart and soul into this community and a lot of time and hours and I want to let you know that we appreciate each and every one of you and everything that you do for us. On behalf of the village I thank you,” she stated.

Food was in no short supply as the members of the Nakusp Legion rolled a feast out of the kitchen and attended to their guest’s every possible culinary need.

Once everyone had his or her fill (and then some) the Castelgar musical team That Girl and Earl took over the stage and delivered a lively set of pop, rock and country tunes.

Something special about Nakusp Marilyn Boxwell

Senior’s column

If your budget is currently stretched tightly, as it is for many of us on occasion, it will likely be a good idea to bone up on the Property Tax Deferment Program, which exists to serve residents of the Nakusp region as well as all other qualified applicants stationed throughout the province.

If you are a BC homeowner aged 55 years and over who is seeking a way of delaying payment of your annual property taxes on your principle residence, it may be well worth checking out eligibility criteria prior to filing your application.

To begin with, note that not only the homeowner but also the surviving spouse of any age may

benefit as well as a person who has been designated by the Ministry of Social Development and is registered as having a disability.

In this case, an applicant with a disability would be required to supply a disability certificate form completed by their physician, demonstrating that the applicant may be eligible to take advantage of this program.

Deferred taxes are paid by the Province to the taxing authority (Village of Nakusp, other municipalities if applicable, or a provincial collector), on your behalf.

It is essential to take into account, however, that the deferred property taxes along with the interest must be repaid to the Province, and if applicable, an administration fee. For more information including the disability form and other eligibility criteria, drop in to the Service BC office (located across from the Nakusp Community Bus service office) for helpful in-person assistance.

And Say

c

c han telle Carter I am a very strong believer in “Let food be thy medicine” and one of my goals in recent years has been to better learn how to “forage” the wild food around me.

My interest began when my family and I moved out into the woods near Trout Lake.

Having to drive into town to purchase anything, especially perishable food was quite a chore. With my first exploration into the woods I realized how much edible food grew in abundance around me. Not to mention it was free, more nutritious than anything I was going to buy at the grocery store, and always a fun adventure with the kids.

From that point on I never left our cabin without a few plant identification books in my backpack. Even then, considering the plethora of plant life in our forests, I would be stumped on identifying certain species. So needless to say, I am a beginner at this and if you would like to get into foraging, I would encourage you to get expert advice on what to pick, and what not to pick.

Nutrient rich nettles are perfect for harvesting right now in our area and are very easy to identify. If in doubt, you can opt to touch it and if you feel a sting and a small welt arises, you have confirmation. They thrive in the same conditions as blackberries and can often be found competing for territory with them.

Nettles are the highest plant source of iron and protein, they also contain very high amounts of Vitamins A, C, D, E, and K, riboflavin, thiamine, calcium, magnesium, silicon, sulphur, copper, chromium, zinc, cobalt, potassium and phosphorous. Some sources claim that some of the health benefits of stinging nettle are stabilizing blood sugar; enhancing the operation of the circulatory, immune, endocrine, nervous, and urinary systems; reducing fatigue and exhaustion; reducing allergic and menopausal problems; and eliminating chronic headaches.

Here are some harvesting guidelines to follow to ensure our plants will survive and thrive.

1. Do you need it? Harvest with a purpose in mind, not just for the fun of it.

2. Harvest only as much as you will use.

3. 1 in 20 rule. It is okay to harvest a plant if there are 20 others available to maintain the population.

4. Leave Grandmother alone. Allow the biggest and best plants to remain so they can continue to propagate the healthiest population.

5. If the plant is a home to critters, leave it be.

6. Harvest with a clean cut so the plant will heal well.

7. Only take 1/3 or less of an individual plant.

8. Avoid polluted areas.

9. Offer appreciation and bring positive energy to your harvest.

Art Walk gala kick off RYAN Willman Arrow Lakes News

Dust off your summer kicks and don your best cultural hat; the Nakusp Art Walk is officially underway!

The Arrow Lakes Fine Art Guild (ALFA) kicked off the Nakusp artistic exhibition with a smart and refined gala event at Selkirk College on June 27.

Guests from the community were invited to mix and mingle with the artists of the art walk while enjoying delectable edibles from Gabbie’s Fairy Tale Café as well as a selection of Jennifer Chocolates.

The soundtrack for the

evening was provided by a lineup of talented Kootenay musicians, who crafted a tranquil sound space for the celebration. Paul Gibbons (also known as Garbanzo) ushered guests into the college with his international sounds crafted with a kalimba (an African thumb piano) and a traditional Indian bansuri flute.

Rudy Gorazon followed with his acoustic guitar set and Don Guerete closed out the gala with his sensational guitar picking selection of familiar easy rock tunes.

Anne Beliveau, proprietor of Studio Connexion, assumed the role of MC for

the evening’s festivities and unveiled the official ALFA Art Walk brochure that was developed by Debra Rushfeldt and Betty Fahlman.

Beliveau applauded the ladies’ efforts and remarked, “they worked really hard to create a brochure that would stand out with the quality of the artists and venues of Art Walk.”

The stylish brochure identifies all of the artists and their venues by use of an illustrated map of Nakusp and includes thumbnail samples and artist bios.

Interested patrons of the arts are invited to take a self-guided tour of the rich tapestry of local talent on

display for the duration of July and August.

“Our goal is to promote visual arts in Nakusp” Beliveau proudly shared, “which has the potential to become a tourist destination with a cultural focus.”

Beliveau also took the opportunity to thank all of their sponsors who made the art work possible.

“We would like to thank The Columbia Basin Trust, Kootenay Rockies Tourism, Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance and the Regional District of Central Kootenay. Money was used for the brochure, poster, markers, plus tonight’s celebration and curators.”
